Pub Note:
Statistical atlas containing xxxii, 182 pages, and [7] folded leaves of plates: 5 statistical maps and 2 statistical tables. Includes a preface, introduction, and statistical analysis, as well as texts describing principal nations: L'Empire de Toutes les Russies (p. 7), La Turquie (p. 11), Le Royaume de Suède (p. 14), L'Empire d'Allemagne, avant la guerre (p. 17), Etats de l'Empereur, avant la guerre (p. 20), Royaume du Danemarck (p. 23), La Pologne, avant le Partage de 1793 (p. 26), La France, depuis le Traité de Lunéville (p. 29), Le Royaume d'Espagne (p. 33), La Grande-Bretagne et l'Irlande (p. 36), Le Royaume de Prusse (p. 40), Naples et les deux Siciles (p. 42), Le Royaume de Portugal (p. 44), La Sardaigne et la Savoie (p. 47), L'Indostan (p. 54), Tableau statistique des colonies Anglaises dans l'Inde (p. 61), Ètats-Unis d'Amérique (p. 85). William Playfair was the inventor of statistical graphs, and thus a pioneer in infographics and data visualization. "Playfair’s charts can thus be understood as a direct response to the profusion of knowledge and information that we associate with the Enlightenment specifically and with the eighteenth century more generally. This seeming explosion of information—the sheer proliferation of raw data—is, of course, what enables Playfair’s time-series graphs" (Sachs). This copy is the first French edition of The Statistical Breviary. Playfair, the founder of graphical methods of statistics, published this work originally in English in 1801. It is considered his most theoretical book about graphics in which he “broke free of analogies to the physical world and drew graphics as designs-in-themselves” (Tufte), and contains what is generally credited as the first pie chart. Donnant (the translator into French) did not merely produce a translation but also added several original contributions to this edition, for example A Statistical Account of the United States of America, which Playfair translated into English and published in 1805. In “The Statistical Breviary: shewing, on a Principle Entirely New, the Resources of every State and Kingdom in Europe” [Playfair] first introduced the circle diagram and pie chart that used area to represent the relative sizes of geographical regions. Playfair ‘offers a creative combination of different visual forms: circles (used to show the area of nations), a pie chart (to show the divisions of the Turkish Empire), and lines (to show both population and taxes)’--Akerman & Karrow, p. 231 and illustrated as fig. 131 (English edition). Kress B.4583; see Tufte, Visual Display of Quantitative Information, p. 44.
